- Carpal Tunnel SyndromeVirtually all patients can benefit from having some type of manual therapy treatment integrated into their care plan. Manual therapy is most effective when delivered as part of a comprehensive care plan involving prescribed exercise, including a home exercise program. From carpal tunnel syndrome to low back pain, this type of care can effectively reduce pain and improve movement. Your physical therapist may use spinal manipulation, joint and soft tissue mobilizations, dry needling, cupping, as well as other therapies in your care.

Therapy techniques may include constraint-induced movement therapy, functional electrical stimulation, motor imagery and mental practice, positioning, virtual reality and partial body weight support. Because some medications used to manage symptoms may have an immediate effect, your therapist will take special care to time treatments, exercise and activity based on both the schedule and the impact of their medications to get the best results.

- Manual TherapyA wide variety of treatments fall under the manual therapy umbrella, but the common thread is that they all involve direct contact from the therapist, with or without using a supplemental tool. These techniques can be divided into two categories: soft tissue and joint. During soft tissue work, the therapist applies pressure to specific soft tissue areas to relax muscles, increase circulation and break up scar tissue. When a therapist performs joint techniques, they use measured movements to push, pull or twist joints to loosen, release pressure and improve flexibility and alignment.
